        You're probably reading too much into it.  I dunno, though.
This is the first {con,boink} I've ever been involved with, so I'm not
privy to the details of the exact nomenclature.  I do know, however,
that a "conlang boink" would probably not be looked upon favorably by
Utahns, mostly because of the connotations that the word "boink" carries
here. :)
